Chapter 170: Petition (1st Update)

Rong Xiu was silent for a moment.

He didn't expect that his father called him here this time, but it was actually for this matter.

"Father, several royal brothers have not yet married wives, and it seems that it is a little early for the sons to think about these now..."

Emperor Jiawen snorted coldly.

"None of your imperial brothers have made me feel at ease! Don't mention it! For so many years, I have not been able to take care of you much, and now I naturally want to personally help you choose a suitable marriage!"

Emperor Jiawen raised his chin:

"I know that you have not been back long ago, and you rarely go out, and I am not very familiar with these women in the imperial capital. The portraits are all there, you can choose and look at them yourself. If there is anything you like, just talk to me. ”

Emperor Jiawen waved his hand, and it seemed that he was quite comfortable and chose whichever one he chose, and he immediately gave the posture of marriage.

This battle made Rong Xiu a little crying and laughing.

He didn't even look at the portraits, and said bluntly:

"Father, my sons have been weak and sick since childhood, and if they marry a wife, they will only cause trouble for others. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. ”

"What are you talking about! Who can marry you, that's her blessing! Who dares to say that you are trouble? You can just pick it!"

When Emperor Jiawen heard Rong Xiu say this, his face immediately lengthened a lot.

Speaking of which, Rong Xiu is the prince who has been by his side for the shortest time, and it stands to reason that the relationship between father and son is not very deep.

But in fact, no one knows that the most beloved thing in his heart is this child.

"The four girls of the Si family have good talent and temperament, but unfortunately they are a concubine, and it is not enough to match you, but if you like it, it is not impossible to marry a side concubine first; The Lu family was born in a businessman, and the women in the family also have a bit of power, I don't like it; the eldest lady of the Yang family, although her qualifications are a little mediocre, but she doesn't have a good appearance and temperament, she is worthy of the words 'gentle and virtuous', you can take a look at it first; by the way, there is also the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, you-"

Emperor Jiawen almost told the most outstanding nobles in the entire imperial capital.

From the perspective of ordinary people, these women are all from noble backgrounds, and no matter which one they look for, they are excellent.

But in the eyes of Emperor Jiawen, they all have such and such shortcomings.

It's no wonder that he, just by virtue of Rong Xiu's appearance, he has overshadowed most of the women.

Besides, he is still the only one among the princes who has a title, and once he gets married, he will be infinitely favored.

Emperor Jiawen followed and picked one, his eyes were a little higher, and it was understandable.

As for Rong Xiu's body... In his opinion, this is not a big deal at all.

Rong Xiu looked at Emperor Jiawen with an excited look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then clenched his fist with one hand, pressed it to his lips and coughed twice.

Emperor Jiawen was stunned and looked at him worriedly:

"Why are you coughing again?

Rong Xiu shook his head, his lips were a little pale, and he smiled:

"The son is fine, the father doesn't have to worry-cough-cough-"

Seeing him like this, Emperor Jiawen didn't have the heart to continue that topic.

"Well, since you don't want to, then I won't talk about it today. But you still have to take this matter to heart, and have time to walk around more often to see if there is anything you like. I can't help you directly, it's all up to you. ”

Rong Xiu bowed slightly:

"Thank you for your understanding. ”

Emperor Jiawen shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know what kind of woman you like..."

What kind of woman does he like?

A beautiful face flashed in Rong Xiu's mind.

Although it is a little immature, it has already seen its prime.

Especially those eyes, which are as brilliant and moving as a starry night.

His eyes moved slightly, obscuring the look under his eyes.

"Erchen has one more thing to ask for. ”

"Oh, since you came back to the imperial capital, you have been recuperating in the mansion, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to ask me, it's really rare - let's hear it!"

Rong Xiu pondered for a moment.

"Erchen has been away for many years, and he has never had the opportunity to worship his mother, but when he comes back this time, he wants to do his son's duty. ”

Hearing Rong Xiu mention his mother, Emperor Jiawen was stunned for a moment, then leaned back in the chair dejectedly, let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes.

“... She has indeed been gone for many years..."

At this moment, Emperor Jiawen seemed to be much older, and his tone was filled with regret and remembrance that could not be concealed.

"It's good that you still remember your mother. It's just that you should also know... There is no tomb of your mother in the imperial tomb. ”

Rong Xiu's expression was calm.

"Erchen knows. Erchen remembers that the mother concubine had been in Tianlu Academy for a long time?"

"Not bad. At the time, she... refused to live in the palace, so he went to Tianlu Academy. Your mother had a good relationship with the dean of Tianlu Academy, and she was very talented, so she became half a teacher in the academy. She lived there for two years, until she finally died, and never returned. ”

Emperor Jiawen said slowly, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

But the helpless and longing look, as well as the slightly trembling hands, all showed that his heart was not so calm.

Although many years have passed, that person and those things are still deeply engraved in his heart and cannot be erased.

Rong Xiu glanced at him quietly, his eyes were calm, and there was no wave.

It seems that he doesn't care about Emperor Jiawen's nostalgia.

But he quickly put away this indifference.

"So, Erchen wants to go to Tianlu Academy to see where the concubine used to stay, I wonder if you can allow it?"

Emperor Jiawen opened his eyes.

The young man in front of him was unconsciously much taller, and he stood there with his back straight, the sunlight shining on his jade-like face, so clearly.

He and she are very much like her.

Especially the faint alienated and noble atmosphere between the eyebrows and eyes, it seems to be carved out of a mold.

Therefore, every time he sees this face, he will always be extra patient and compassionate.

"Naturally, I wouldn't disagree. It's just that I have to ask the dean about this matter. Ordinary people in Tianlu Academy are not allowed to enter, but your mother's status is different, maybe the dean will be extra lenient with you. ”

Rong Xiu's thin lips are slightly raised.

"Erchen had written to greet the dean before, and he had agreed. ”

Emperor Jiawen was stunned, and then said:

"That's... In this case, you go directly to it!"Mobile phone users, please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
